LATEST NEWS FROM FLORIDA REALTORS
Property managers and contractors working in pre-1978 homes may need EPA certification. Recent guidance clarifies who can be held liable.
The average 30-year rate fell to 6.01% and the 15-year to 5.35%. Lower borrowing costs may draw buyers back, steady sellers and boost activity for agents this spring.
Pending sales declined in the South month over month but rose year over year, signaling uneven momentum across Florida markets.
Helping someone reach a major milestone can create financial ties that last longer than expected. Make sure co-signers understand what that could mean.
Spending on home upgrades remains strong, but growth is slowing. For agents, the shift could influence seller prep, buyer expectations and pricing conversations.
From prioritizing safety repairs to setting aside 1% annually, smart budgeting can protect a home’s value and position sellers more competitively.
